New turbulence is hitting Hawaii travel as a combination of setbacks take hold. From rising uncertainty in Hawaii’s largest market—Southern California—to the lingering impacts of the Lahaina wildfire and a shifting Canadian sentiment and looming tariffs hitting US wallets, visitor demand is under extreme pressure. The state is pumping millions into a new tourism campaign, but the question remains—will it be enough?

My wife and l love Hawaii and we plan to visit there around April 15th. We’ve been to Maui about six times. We’ve been to the Big Island about five times and we enjoy it and I know that they’re having some hard times and so we’ve retired now and we just want to go there and spend some time and some money and hopefully that’ll help encourage their economy and the tourism. It’s a lovely place. The people are lovely and we pray for there citys.

I’ve been to Hawaii over 50 times. After trump, I will not visit you or any other destination in the states ever again. As a Canadian, you do Not treat your friends or allies this way. Good luck America, you will need it.
I hope Hawaii can survive these challenges, as I am extremely fond of visiting the islands. However, as a west coast Canadian, I don’t forsee any holidays there until the US can get their act together. Your president seems to have an axe to grind with Canada and frankly, I will accept any retaliatory measures that our leaders propose. Remember, Nobody likes a bully!
Right on!
Hawaii is still better than Mexico for a beach vacation. But prices are still extremely expensive
Yes for sure,as a longtime visitor The Tariffs from your president the weakened Canadian dollar, and the very high hotel room prices has made us decide to travel to other parts of the world. We will very much miss the people of Hawaii and the spirit that they have and share with others.
Ever been avoiding Maui because lodging had gotten too expensive.
